It sounds like you have some gaps in your time series.  I think -newey-
doesn't like gaps.

-xtivreg2- supports Newey-West SEs (also known as the Bartlett kernel)
with straight fixed effects panel data estimation and no endogenous
regressors, i.e., your case.  It's available from ssc-archives in the
usual way, i.e.,

ssc install xtivreg2

You'll also need to install -ivreg2- and -ranktest- in the same way.
-ivreg2- supports the same estimation without fixed effects (-xtivreg2-
is basically a wrapper for -ivreg2-).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mark (author/coauthor of xtivreg2, ivreg2, ranktest)
